Gone but not forgotten! The BBC received a deluge of backlash after airing an image of Prince William with a not-so-flattering accessory on his forehead during their morning program BBC Breakfast on Thursday, August 1.

The morning news program aired a video by musical theater group Barbershopera titled "I Could Have Married Kate" at one point during their show as part of a segment promoting their appearance on the show.

The new father (wife Kate Middleton gave birth to their baby son Prince George on Monday, July 22) also sported glasses, a silly moustache and goatee, and a few missing teeth courtesy of someone's black marker.

"This image was shown fleetingly within a comedy promotional video for Barbershopera, a humerous barbershop group, who were appearing later on in the program," a BBC spokeswoman said in a statement.
